Indianapolis while also taking care of Macy. Not that Macy needed someone to take care of her, but still, Madeline was there to support her when she needed it.
    “How are you boys doing?” she asked. She walked over to the table that was next to the bed and set her purse down on it.
    “ Men ,” Drew corrected her with a smile. “And we’re doing good.”
    “ Well .” This time it was Madeline’s turn to correct him. “You’re doing well, Michael.”
    “Actually, I’m Michael,” Michael said as he raised his hand. “He’s Drew.”
    Madeline laughed. “My apologies. All I know for sure is that he’s Kane,” Madeline said, pointing toward me.
    I looked at Macy, whose eyes met mine. Her face blushed, and she quickly turned her attention to Madeline, shooting her a dirty look.
    Madeline gave her a teasing smile, then sat down next to her on the bed. “Oh, there’s someone else coming up here. Another one of your friends. I can’t remember his name, though, but I see him hanging out with you all the time.”
    I knew exactly who it was, but before I could ask to be certain, the door opened, and in he walked.
    It was Brian, the guy in love with Macy, who’d hated me my entire life, but even more now that Macy liked me instead of him. Well, allegedly liked me.
    “Hey, Macy,” he said. He gave Drew, Michael, and myself a disgusted look. “I didn’t realize you had company.”
    “Hello, Brian. Yes, I do. Is there anything I can do for you?” Macy said with a cold tone in her voice.
    Brian pulled one of his hands from behind his back and revealed a bouquet of flowers. “I just wanted to bring you these, and see how you were doing.”
    I exchanged a look with Drew and Michael. It was clear we were all taken aback by Brian’s uncharacteristically kind gesture, and I wondered what it was he had up his sleeve. Brian always had ulterior motives. He never did something just from the kindness of his heart, but always because there was something for him to gain from his actions.
    “Can I have a moment?” he asked. He looked at me, anger flashing in his eyes. “Alone.”
    Macy thought about it for a moment before coming to a decision. “Well, you did bring me some flowers. You can have your moment, but I’d like for my sister to stay in the room if that’s okay with you,” she said.
    Brian nodded. “Yeah, okay.”
    Macy turned to us. “This shouldn’t take long.”
    I gave her a look that showed my disapproval. I stood up from my seat on her bed, as did Michael and Drew. We walked to the door, and before I closed it, I turned to Macy. “If you need us, we’ll be right outside.”
    She smiled. “Alright, I’ll keep that in mind.” She bit her lip and held back a laugh, causing my heart to skip and a huge smile to break out across my face. Brian stood there, quietly fuming, trying his best to contain his temper.
    Drew, Michael, and myself stood outside the hospital room, trying to stand as close as we could to try and hear what was going on inside. We couldn't stand too close, however, since two police officers stood on either side of the door.
    We gave up on eavesdropping, and did our best to stay out of the way in the hospital hallway, which was easy to do, since it was very wide. A few doctors and nurses walked by occasionally, but for the most part it stayed pretty quiet. Macy was staying in the part of the hospital that wasn't very busy, since obviously the busy parts were taken by people who actually needed medical attention.
    “So what are you gonna do about your competition?” Drew asked, elbowing me.
    I gave him a glare. “Brian isn't competition. He's just being a dick and using her situation for his own gain.”
    “Maybe so, but still, you gotta admit that the flowers were a nice touch.”
    “Yeah, Kane,” Michael chimed in. “I didn't see you bring her anything.”
    “Well it's not like I had the time to or anything,” I said, defending myself. Plus, I'm the one who saved her life,
